Camellia Tea Ceremony
evenrain真如堂的紅葉部分已經開始落葉，不過仍有許多株還盛開著。我們為了直書的朱印，是有付拜觀料參觀庭園，不過真如堂大部分的紅葉景觀都是無料的
境內不算小，紅葉除了門口附近外，主要集中在本堂周圍。另外除出了門外，旁邊的小徑也有很美的紅葉
拜觀料五百日幣，可在本堂廊下走動以較高的視角拍攝本堂周圍紅葉，並可以參觀書院跟庭園（庭園也有紅葉），我們是覺得滿值得的
這是個相對人較少的紅葉景點，但是呈現出的紅葉景觀並不輸其他紅葉名勝呢
The temple became better known as the "Women's Sanctuary" (女人の寺).
At a time when many temples, & even whole mountains, were off limits to women, Shinshōgokuraku-ji (真正極楽寺/Shinnyo-dō 真如堂) offered a refuge.
Special services were held for women (極楽往生/女人往生), aiding them to rebirth in Amida's Western Paradise (阿弥陀仏/極楽).
